Stockgrove and Rushmere (11 Mile Walk Circular Walk)

Situated at the Western tip of the Greensand Ridge, Stockgrove and Rushmere Country Parks cover 400 acres of glorious woodland, heathland and lakes, and with areas of SSSI it is a great place to walk. This 11 Mile circular walk takes us along the Greensand Ridge, around both Country Parks before following the Grand Union Canal and an uphill climb back to our start point.

What to Expect
An 11 mile walk mainly on good tracks and small lanes, some tracks may be muddy and uneven in places. There will be a few steep bits with a total ascent of around 850ft. We will maintain a pace of just over 3mph throughout the walk.

This walk will be moderately challenging with few short steep sections and a longer climb. It is suitable for anyone with a reasonable standard of walking fitness.

If you are a first timer please read the 'About us...' section on the homepage before signing up for this walk, ensuring appropriate fitness and suitability.

If you can't make the walk please change your RSVP in plenty of time to allow others to attend.
